INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven. Crust should not be fully cooked.
